The Memphis Grizzlies simply have no answers for the Oklahoma City Thunder in this best-of-7 series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has yet to have to do any of the heavy lifting for the Thunder. He’s a combined 14-42 from the field, mainly due to Scotty Pippen Jr. and company giving him tough looks. It’s been the supporting cast for the Thunder who have carried OKC thus far. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren topped the 20-point mark in Game 2, while the bench carved into Memphis in the 4th quarter in Game 1 with the Thunder up 49 after 3 quarters. Look for the Grizzlies to be content with Gilgeous-Alexander beating them from the mid-range and inside the paint, and staying under his assist line for the 3rd time in as many games in this series.
